6yr old abseiling

You are never too young or old to enjoy an abseil and with so many venues throughout Scotland, indoor and outdoor, we are spoiled for choice. Please click on the picture below to see a video of a 6yr old client enjoying an abseil at Benny Begg

Tying a figure of eight

We have put together this brief video explaining how to tie a figure of eight knot in preparation for tying on to a climbing harness. Just click on the picture below and you will be taken to the video. Enjoy 🙂

why do I coach activities?

I have been asked this question quite often. More so by my mother in law than anyone else. The easy answer is simple…… I enjoy it!

To elaborate on that, I have people coming to me of all ages and abilities.  These people come for a variety of reasons including:

  • Wanting to try a sport for the first time
  • A social event
  • Corporate reward
  • Team building
  • Fitness/weight loss
  • Regular classes
  • And many more

Whatever their reasons I have so much fun working with each person, helping them realise their own capabilities. When you have someone who doesn’t think they can do an activity and they leave with an excitement in their eyes from having completed it, that is such an amazing feeling. If, as a coach,  you don’t thrive on that feeling, I would say you are in the wrong place. To me coaching is more than a job,  it is a vocation.
